We will be heading to the beach this week. I will be back in the office for my evening shift Saturday. We are heading to a new destination this time...I will give a report when we get back.

I have placed the Edouard RSS feed on the right. If any other systems develop this week, I will not be able to put up any new information for them until Friday evening at the earliest. I plan to be nowhere near a computer, cell phone, or even a television for that matter. And I am very excited about it. Time to 'unplug' for a few days.

Everyone have a great week, and I will see you on the air Saturday evening!

Around here, heat will be the big weather story over the next few days. Highs tomorrow will be in the mid 90s with highs Tuesday in the upper 90s. A few showers and storms return to the forecast if not Wednesday, Thursday.

In the tropics, Tropical Depression 5 formed and was quickly upgraded to Tropical Storm Edouard in the northern Gulf of Mexico. It will likely head into northern Texas....no impact on the Carolinas.
